If you were a safe cracker, why wouldn't you get every single type of safe (if money were no object, which it isn't with Open Source Software)? The more you know about each OS the better you would be at protecting it, or alternatively, breaking into it.

@idisappear - the way you describe it, you seem to be destined for a job in management.
As lightos said (and you'd be wise to listen to him and look at his tutorials in various areas), security is not just XSS or db injection, there are hundreds of aspects to security that most people miss. In the old days the saying was "I have a firewall, I'm safe!", obviously this was management sp

p.s. it could also be that it's been 17 years since I saw any LISP code.. ;}

Just found out that the breach is even worse.
The picture that changed wasn't from my old profile picture, it is my gf's profile picture. The android app also found it necessary to download all her contacts and their details to my phone. At first it had just downloaded the info, but as soon as you want to take a look at one of them, the app goes ahead and downloads their pictures as well.. wit

Well, on top of my old issue I just found a new one.. I deleted my account (or so I thought) a few months ago and had not logged back in.. it turns out though that when my gf uploaded a new picture using FB, it ended up downloading my old profile picture onto my phone.. if I deleted it a while ago, why does it still my old profile picture? and worst of all, why is it automatically updating my cont

The only, quite unattainable, solution is to educate the masses.. but how do you educate stupid old men that all they know how to do is count money.. it's like my fridge magnet says: "Why do they call it 'common sense' when it's so rare?".
Intelligent people just need to find a way to buy a congressman, or two.. we need lobbyists.. you know, just like the rich people have..

@id - I think he wants professors pontificating about portmanteaus created by scholar types. Maybe you should just let him know that this is a website built by users, run by users and posted by users. :)

Obviously, if the US lost a drone to Iran, they haven't watched Mission: Impossible.. you always have an 'auto-destruct' mechanism in important technology.. guess they forgot that step this time around.

Been meaning to write something up about this for a while but have been busy, you know, living life.
Most of you may be aware of their Android app, but what you might not be aware is that it has a pretty big privacy issue.
The app never logs you (or the person who last used your phone to log in) out.
Example:
Have someone log into facebook from your phone, and then promptly log out.

Well, there's a lot of things from my infancy that I don't remember, but I know that as I've grown older my memory has improved tremendously, I'm counting for the same thing from the interwebtubes.. :)

Taking a page out of the 'al qaeda network security' handbook.. don't shit where you eat.. basically saying, don't do anything originating out of your own IP space/house/neighborhood.. yes, if they were slightly more advanced and organized, a 'top ranking' individual could easily set up a VPN and provide access via crypto keys which would only be made available in person.. then it is safe to have

Yes, enact more laws that can be misconstrued and abused by law enforcement to keep the curious out of your insecure world. It obviously worked really well when you enacted laws preventing law abiding citizens from owning guns. No one has been killed since those laws went into effect... bah!

A) proftpd is NOT SQL
B) if you posted the same info once, what makes you think that a 2nd posting will get any response?
C) yes, we have an exploit that works on 1.3.2 but we're not going to share with you.
